Speech Therapy Badges

Sometimes will all need a little push to keep on working on things that are hard for us, especially children with communication disorders. These speech therapy badges will accomplish just that...and it is EASY to implement. 

Speech Therapy Badges Uses

Of course, you can use these speech therapy badges any way you see fit. However, I have 2 recommended uses. First, you must print out the needed badges and then the badge charts. I personally like to laminate them so they last longer (save trees).

Therapy Feedback (recommended use #1)

• Run a therapy session or home practice per usual. 
• When a child has a correct response (i.e., answers a "who" question during story reading task), then child receives a "who" badge for the remainder of the task or the remainder of the session.
• Either have the child place the badge in front of him or her and place it on a "badge board."

Record Progress Over Time (recommended use #2)

• A child receives a "badge board" at the beginning of a home program or therapy program.
• As a child meets a goal (i.e., able to say /k/ in conversation), he/she earns an articulation K badge to place on board. 
• The child keeps adding badges when able

Theory Behind Badges

The main purpose of using these badges is important. 

They are made to:

• Keep children aware of goals
• Demonstrate progress visually
• Be a constant reminder of the purpose of therapy

By using badges and badge boards, a child reviews speech therapy goals before and after each session. This is VERY important! A child MUST know what he/she is working on to make adequate progress! Speech therapy is serious, medical business (not just fun and games :)) after all.

This idea is based on the important theory self-assessment learning. Children who are able to self-assess progress and areas of need are able to become responsible for their own learning. Click our free self-assessment learning page for more information and a free self-assessment tool.

Also, badges are a visual reminder of progress and children love earning them. This keeps children motivated during therapy and decrease distracting behaviors.
